The latest in the long-running series of bug-fixing updates to Sony Ericsson’s B.I.G. original X10 smartphone has finally arrived for users on the O2 network – updating the Android phone’s OS to version R2BA026. It’s all still powered by Android 1.6 underneath, of course.
This is the update X10 owners have been longing for, bringing with it smoother operation of the phone’s Timescape and Mediascape aggregation tools, and apparently also increasing battery life substantially according to user reports. It’s a good one.
If you have the Sony Ericsson PC Companion software installed, use it now to update your O2 X10. The update’s not appearing for O2 users via the more traditional over-the-air route, though, probably due to its size – a massive 153MB. Link via SE-Xperia.com.
It’s smooth to use, the 1080p display is sharp, clear and bright, the device is extremely light and thin and therefore very pocketable and portable — much more so than other 5-inch phones we’ve used. And yet… we’re a bit unimpressed by the overall package…
A relatively high-spec smartphone, with a 4.5″ display running at 480 x 854 resolution and powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, plus the Ascend G510 arrives running Android 4.1.1 — albeit potentially hindered by Huawei only sticking 512MB of RAM inside it..
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?
